AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2021

‘Delightful’ Ed Yong

What’s to be done about a drunken elephant? A monkey caught mugging passers-by? A trespassing squirrel?

Follow Mary Roach as she investigates laser scarecrows, robo-hawks, human-elephant conflict specialists and monkey impersonators. Travel to the bear-busy back alleys of Aspen, the gull-vandalized floral displays at the Vatican and leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Himalayas. In this fresh, funny and thoroughly researched book, dive into the weird and wonderful moments when humanity and wildlife bump up against one another.
